Emulsion Explosive Sensitizer is a type of W/O emulsion-like water-bearing industrial explosive made with emulsification technique. Sensitizer is a type of ion that can be added into substrate to absorb excitation radiation and convey the energy to the activating agent. This whole process aims to raise the sensitivity to initiation of a composite explosive.
Emulsion Explosive Sensitizer can be divided into Physical sensitizer and Chemosensitizers. The common Emulsion Explosive Sensitizer include hollow glass microspheres, resin microspheres, expanded perlite, Sodium nitrite, etc.
Due to chemical sensitization operation is relatively complex, uneven distribution of micro-bubbles sensitized, easy to produce aftereffect, storage stability is relatively short, pressure desensitization quite serious and so on. In the production performance of the charge efficiency, quality and low yield problems, and chemical sensitization environmental problems still exist. Chinese enterprises are mostly using expanded perlite as the emulsion Explosive Sensitizers, Europe, Japan and other countries, companies have adopted the basic hollow glass microspheres or resin microspheres as emulsion explosives sensitizers.
